Who We Are
Self-Help was founded in 1980 with a focus on economic inequality, particularly in communities that have faced systemic barriers to building wealth. At the core of our mission is a drive to create and protect ownership and economic opportunity. We are committed to economic justice, which means ensuring all communities have the basic infrastructure they need to thrive—from high-quality schools to grocery stores selling fresh food—regardless of demographics, income, or wealth.
Since our founding, we have constantly sought new ways to pursue greater economic justice, ranging from providing fair and affordable loans to working with partners to demand that lawmakers change unjust policies.
About the Role
We are seeking a Director of Business Development to join our team in Connecticut. While this role shares similarities with business development, fundraising, and sales, our work is centered around building genuine, meaningful relationships and collaborations among mission-aligned organizations and individuals to achieve triple-bottom-line results.
To power local results, we consistently seek to build strength and capacity by securing deposits—mission-aligned investments—in accounts like money market and term certificates. In this role, you will identify, research, and qualify prospective investors while engaging in the community to build authentic relationships across multiple sectors, including housing, social justice, environmental justice, economic mobility, health equity, economic development, and faith-based organizations. If community development and high-impact outcomes are important to you, this is an opportunity to help us make a difference in Connecticut.
Join Our Team
If you are interested in who we are and what we do, have a strong desire to work in an organization that places a high priority on teamwork and collaboration, and are interested in working to help create economic opportunity for all, this is the place for you.
